Vestibular Hair Bundles Control pH with (Na+, K+)/H+Exchangers NHE6 and NHE9

Abstract: In hair cells of the inner ear, robust /Hϩ exchange, which we propose is performed by NHE9 in hair bundles, exploits the high-K ϩ endolymph, responds only to pH imbalance across the bundle membrane, is unaffected by the ϩ80 mV endocochlear potential, and uses mechanisms already present in the ear for K ϩ recycling. This mechanism allows the hair cell to remove H ϩ generated by Ca 2ϩ pumping without ATP hydrolysis in the cell.

“…1 The activities of the K + ,Cl -cotransporter (KCC) and of the cation-proton exchangers in the RBC of CHC patients have not been addressed. K + (Na + )/H + exchange (KNHE), probably mediated by one of the 6-9 isoforms of NHE, 13,14 was earlier observed in human erythrocytes. This K + flux component was most pronounced at low ionic strength and was inhibited by the amiloride derivative HOE-642.…”

“…It has been documented for several "intracellular" NHE that they can also reside and function on the plasma membrane under certain circumstances, [31][32][33] and dual mitochondrial and plasmalemmal localization has also been reported for the voltage-dependent anion channel VDAC. 34 For the intracellular NHE isoform NHE6, the scaffolding protein RACK1 was recently shown to regulate the balance between plasmalemmal and intracellular localization.…”

“…In vestibular hair bundles, for example, both NHE6 and NHE9 are enriched in the plasma membrane where they probably exploit high endolymph K + to efflux cytosolic H + . This mechanism allows the hair cell to remove H + generated by Ca 2+ pumping without ATP hydrolysis in the cell [65]. NHE6 is also highly expressed in the basolateral membrane of osteoblasts, especially in areas of high mineralization, where it helps remove excess H + generated by this process [94].…”

“…One exeption to the intracellular localization of NHE9 has thus far been reported. In vestibular hair bundles, NHE9 is (together with NHE6) present in the plasma membrane where it serves to remove cytosolic H + in exchange for endolymph K + [65].…”
